Early Years Programs

Baby Time

Baby Time is a free, early literacy program designed for parents with children under 12 months of age. The 30 minute sessions include songs, rhymes, finger plays and simple percussion instruments to encourage interaction with your baby in a fun environment with other parents.

Rhyme Time

Rhyme Time is a free, early literacy session designed for children from 1 to 3 years of age. Children and caregivers participate together in a fun and relaxing environment. The 30 minute sessions include songs, rhymes, finger plays and simple percussion instruments to develop early language, literacy and numeracy skills. This program runs during school terms only.

Please note that doors at Plaza Library will open to Rhyme Time attendees only at 9:25am and close at 9:35am. Access to other library services (such as PC use, newspapers, or reference enquiries) will not be available until 10am.

Story Time

Story Time is a free, early literacy session designed for children aged 3-6 years of age. It is a fun and special sharing time where children and caregivers can establish a love of books and reading. The 45 minute sessions include stories, songs and a simple craft activity. This program runs during school terms only.

Each week’s stories and activity cover a different theme. The program aims to develop language, literacy and numeracy skills.

Early Years programs have concluded for 2018. We will return in February 2019.
